I can talk about this a lot. But in my understanding I think you have to go to the basement. Traceability is a matter of configuration management. So, read about this mainly the IEEE Std 1512, IEEE Std 610, IEEE Std 1042. The standards will help you to do not revinvent the wheel.

Sam, implementing or customizing softwares to solve some peculiar business processes and thus actualizing the organizations' strategic goals could require the use of Requirement Traceability Matrix which links the stakeholders' approved requirements with their objectives or strategic goals. Losing TRACE of the reason for the requirement might result in a serious loss of strategic goal or objective.

Agree with Timothy. You will need a requirements traceability matrix which links goals, objectives, requirements all the way to design / code elements, test cases etc. Maintaining a traceability matrix takes some effort. You will have to ensure that this is kept up to date.
